B-LINE B280ZN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the B-Line B280ZN post base work with B22 strut channel?
Yes. The B280ZN square post base is made for B22 channel, so a length of B22 strut sits directly on the base with no adapter. If the vertical run on your job is a different B-Line channel profile, this is the wrong base; match the base to the channel size you actually have before you order.
2) What is the footprint and height of the B-Line B280ZN square post base for laying out anchor points?
The base is 6 x 6 inches square and stands 3.5 inches high. Lay out on a 6 inch square and confirm you have that much clear floor or pad at each post location, plus 3.5 inches of vertical stack below where the channel starts. That height comes off your channel cut length, so measure your finished elevation from the top of the base, not the slab.
3) What does centered offset mean on a square post base like the B280ZN?
Centered offset describes where the channel sits relative to the base plate: the post is positioned centrally on the 6 x 6 inch plate rather than flush to one edge. Practically, that means your strut run lands over the middle of the footprint and the anchor pattern surrounds the post, so load from the post pushes down through the center of the plate instead of trying to tip it. If you need the channel tight against a wall or a curb edge, a centered base is not what you want.
4) Are anchors or bolts included with the B-Line B280ZN post base?
No. The base is supplied on its own. You buy the anchors to suit the substrate, concrete wedge or screw anchors into slab, through-bolts into steel deck, and you also supply the hardware that ties the B22 channel to the base. Size the anchors to your load and your inspector's requirement, not to the base.
5) Is an electro-plated post base OK outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Electro-plated steel is a light zinc coating, suited to dry interior and general commercial or industrial use. It is not the finish to pick for exterior rooftop duty, a wash-down area, or a corrosive process space. For those, specify a hot dip galvanized or stainless post base instead. Indoors, on an equipment pad or in an electrical room, the electro-plated B280ZN is the normal choice.
6) What do I order for a floor-mounted strut post supporting conduit or equipment?
For a vertical B22 post you need three things: the B280ZN base, the B22 channel cut to your finished height less the 3.5 inch base height, and anchors for the substrate. Add channel nuts and bolts for whatever you are hanging off the post. If the post is tall or carries side load, brace it back to structure; a single base plate is a foot, not a moment connection.
